mr. ryan would you please connect with matthew? thank you very much. mr. tray, i don't see your name on the list. >> i'm speaking for someone else. >> good evening commissioners, this saturday, a big truck of books is coming to san francisco. there will be 40,000 free books courtesy of first book and united educators of san francisco. the ultimate goal of first book is to get as many books as we can into the homes of our low income students. educators in intuitively know when there are books at home for students to read for theiren enjoyment that connect to the curriculum, they do better in school. by the way, there is data to back that up. here is how it will work. hundreds of san francisco educators have already registered for the 40,000 books coming on saturday. educators and that not only includes teachers and professionals and who work at school programs and community organization based programs are eligible. we know those who have registered will be there saturday. guess what, here is the secret. if you haven't registered you can still show up on sat

be aware of is that this year as you know we will not be giving the cst and those students that mr. ryan referred to in algebra we'll not be able to use the cst in the second measure because the grade is the first measure. but we have established a test that we'll be administering to all the students that we'll be using as a second criteria. there are two criteria. >> what i wasn't to know is what is the correlation between them. are all the students, the same number of students who didn't get a proficiency grade, did any of them pass? >> yes there is a disconnect between grades and c st scores. i couldn't cite the exact percentage but more students get a c or better. >> is that a large number? >> yes. but i wouldn't venture to give you an exact number. i can get that for you. >> i have a question, chemistry is another one of those subjects that are -- gosh i struggled through that one. i'm sort of wondering do you think this is going to help students in their chemistry class which requires some math also. >> we certainly hope so. >> we are also in the process of packing the next generat

mr. smith. >> ryan, how did you come up with the idea? >> i watch movies with my son a lot.d for a time machine. clearly, the only awnioption i was to make him a time machine. i came up with a pretty decent idea around that and decided to make a commercial out of it. >> how much money did it take you to produce your commercial? >> just $1 million. so i broke even on the deal. it was $300. a little under $300. >> those were expensive actors in that commercial. i know they weren't. >> yeah, one of them was free. i had to raise him for six years but he was sort of free. then the old guy was a local talent and mr. smith our awesome, amazing, dumb witted mr. smith, david wilkins, came out from l.a. he believed in our spot and wanted to work with us. >> amber, i want people to take a look at your commercial, because i really loved this one. it is called cowboy kid. >> oh, thank you. >> boys, can i get some help? >> i don't know. can you? >> i guess you don't want doritos. ♪ ♪ >> i love the mom in the background going, yeah, score. so what do you get as runner up? >> the runner up

. >> the only person that was there, me, your co, ryan and mr. >> i spoke with the corporal and i also spoke with the officer that was there at the time. corporal has read a statement saying at no time did he make any comments -- any sexual -- >> he did. i bet he did. >> let me finish what i'm saying. >> you guys are agreeing to each other. what is the sense of it. i'm looking like the idiot while your ceo agreeing with each other he never said it when he did say it. what's the sense of speaking more about it. there's no more to speak about. it's over. >> i'm going to continue with what i have to say, when i'm done talking, explaining to you the outcome, then you at that point you're more than welcome to comment or more than welcome to do whatever you feel is necessary. >> i'm going to. >> to resolve this however you think is appropriate. >> as i was saying, i spoken to the corporal and denies stating that at no time did he make comments of this nature to you. the officer that you said that was present during this has also read a statement statin

mr. elmendorf followed up with a letter to congressman paul ryan, our budget director, mr. elmendorf wrote this -- quote -- "establishing caps on discretionary -- discretionary appropriations in the future would not affect spending under current law and would not offset changes in direct spending or revenues. further, appropriations for war-related activities have declined in recent years and may decline further as military operations in afghanistan wind down. caps on overseas contingency operations that are lower than base line projections might simply reflect policy decisions that have already been made and that would be realized even without such constraints. if policymakers believe that national security required appropriations above the capped amounts in future years, they would almost certainly provide emergency appropriations that would not under current law be counted under the caps." it just points out this is an unacceptable way to count money. experts on the federal budget have said the same. maya mcginns, a capable observer said using the war gimmick to offset o

. >>> plus, paul ryan takes on the role of mr. reasonable. but next, i'm answering your questions.et me talk to you about retirement. a 401(k) is the most sound way to go. let's talk asset allocation. sure. you seem knowledgeable, professional. would you trust me as your financial advisor? i would. i would indeed. well, let's be clear here. i'm actually a dj. [ dance music plays ] [laughs] no way! i have no financial experience at all. that really is you? if they're not a cfp pro, you just don't know. find a certified financial planner professional who's thoroughly vetted at letsmakeaplan.org. cfp -- work with the highest standard. so ally bank has a that won't trap me in a rate. that's correct. cause i'm really nervous about getting trapped. why's that? uh, mark? go get help! i have my reasons. look, you don't have to feel trapped with our raise your rate cd. if our rate on this cd goes up, yours can too. oh that sounds nice. don't feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. ally bank. your money needs an ally. discover card. hey! so i'm looking at my bill, and my fico® credit

so what did paul ryan say today about the obama defense cuts? did he say, hey, come on, mr. defense spending more than i did, you know, more than that, because i paul ryan was able to do that. or did he say, you know, as a republican i hate cutting defense spending and i'm glad the president found a way to cut it less than i did? or did he just decide if obama's for defense cuts then i have to be against them? well, of course, you've guessed it by now. he did exactly what you'd expect him to do. paul ryan said that the obama defense cuts are disappointing. but he wasn't consistent. he didn't say they're disappointing because the president doesn't cut defense as much as i did. instead he said it's disappointing that the president continues to use these vital funds as bargaining chips for higher taxes and more domestic spending. never mind that chuck hagel said nothing today about higher taxes or more domestic spending. the secretary of defense was announcing an approach to military spending that is designed to meet the threats he believes the united states faces in the world t

on friday the judge in this case made a major decision and ryan smith has the story. >> i want to detain mr. reeves pretrial. >> reporter: obvious relief. the reaction overnight of any coal oulson after hearing a judge deny bond to the accused murderer charged with shooting and killing her husband, 43-year-old chad oulson in a movie theater last month after an argument over texting? >> i'm happy and relieved by the judge's rulingment. i have no doubt in my mind it was the right decision and want it thank the state. >> reporter: it comes after new surveillance video played in court shows the incident unfolding inside the theater. here is reeves leaning over his seat telling oulson not seen on camera to turn his cell phone off then he gets up to talk to the manager of the theater. minutes later, reeves is back. then the moment that changed everything. watch closely. oulson seems to grab something, throw it in reeves' direction. that's when reeves draws his gun and shoots. watch again. the confrontation and the gunshot over in seconds. >> as soon as i pulled the trigger, i said, oh, this is st

mr. lonely is lonely right now and is loving every minute of it. >> darrell, somebody has to do it here in the next little bit if they're going to make something happen. >> ryanman over 200 entering the corner. and look who is up there in the top 10, regan smith, j.j. yaly, michael mcdowell, drivers with small teams challenging the power houses of this sport with a lap and a half to go. >> you know what, they are praying for that it finishes just like this. let me finish right where i am. up front, different story. >> what a great payday for those teams. >> here they come boys and girls. >> go now or finish second. >> when we cross this, it's a race. >> and oh, by the way, it's not over. it's just now on. >> darrell, keep an eye on -- >> oh, car in the wall hard! turn one. and it's the 93 of travis -- >> no caution. nascar, if the track is clear, they'll let them finish. we are still green and here comes the leader. >> mark martin is really pushing dale earnhardt jr. in the 88. >> junior to the inside of greg biffle. the green flag still flies. martin's number 55, keselowski in the 2. biffle backing up. patrick behind him for the second time the daytona 500 g

ryan zimmerman the change isn't just on the field. >> i don't get too high or too low. >> reporter: he's the national starting third baseman should be nicknamed mr keel. >> you're very laid back. where do you get that from? why are you like that? >> i'm not like that all the time. i'm just like that in front you guys. you know, it's funny because i'm like that on tv. it's the way i was taught, you know, to play the game. >> reporter: 29-year-old ryan zimmerman from virginia beach is adjusting to lots of new. newman gear. >> do you have to prove anything to him? >> when you play a sport i think you should feel like you have to prove yourself every year. >> reporter: and a new baby. >> you can read a million books or go online or talk to people and take classes. there's not one right way to do it and you have to figure out what's best for you and your family and the hardest part for sure is the first two weeks and the sleep. >> reporter: you change diapers? >> yeah. changing diapers that's easy. >> reporter: why don't guys do it? zimmerman's day job is a little bit more difficult. the nats are trying to have a break out year after a somewhat disap

mr. brett mcgurk. prior to this current assignment, he served as senior adviser to ambassadors ryan crocker, chris hill and james jeffrey in baghdad. he also served as a lead negotiator and coordinator during bilateral talks with the iraqi government back in 2008. without objection, by the way, your full prepared statement will be made part of the record, and the members here will have five days to submit any statements or questions or any other extraneous material for the record. and, mr. mcgurk, if you would, please, summarize your remarks, and then we'll go to questions. >> thank you. good morning, chairman royce, ranking member engel and members of this committee. thank you for inviting me to discuss the situation in iraq with a focus on al-qaeda's primary offshoot in iraq, the islamic state of iraq and levant or isil. i will discuss the current situation in rah dad my -- ramadi and fallujah. isil is well known to us. its former incarnation, aqi, was a focus of u.s. and iraqi security efforts over many years beginning with the rise of its first leader more than a decade ago. its current leader is a

mr. chairman. >> thank you. and thank you for mentioning sentencing, what senator durbin and lee and paul and ryan and others, who are all working together to try to get something that not only makes sense but can pass. the old one-size-fits-all, we realize, one, it doesn't make us safer, two, it doesn't deter crime. but, three, it means we're spending a huge amount of money on things that don't make us better and takes money away from good law enforcement that we need. last week the privacy and civil liberties oversight board issued a report that concluded the n.s.a.'s phone records program should end and i agree with that. for the recommendations, you and the director of national intelligence will develop in the coming months, but executive action is not enough. i think congress has to act to ensure that this legal theory, that's what i consider legal theory, is not used by any administration to spy on its citizens. now, d.o.j.'s current interpretation of relevance in section 215 could allow the government to acquire virtually any database that might someday down the road for some reason, somehow, find useful.

[applause] > thank you very much. i am honored and thrilled and moved to be back here at dartmouth. i was, many, many years ago, a student sitting here in this very auditoriums listening to speakers and debaters and it is a particular privilege to be back in hanover having this debate on a really important topic. as you know, this has been a topic of some controversy and some sensitivity. earlier, before the debate we were discussing some possible to security measures and we decided that we should not have metal detectors for the audience but we did have metal detectors for the two speakers.

mr. sessions: so, it would have added to the debt of the united states directly above the agreement that we just voted on in ryan-murray. it set the cap on how much spending. so less than two months later, we're in here directly having to defend against a proposal that would have broken the spending agreement that was in the ryan-murray legislation. it's just unthinkable. i can't imagine that this would happen. there's so many places we could pay for this kind of restoration of veteran retirement benefit without raising taxes and without adding to the debt. so i guess i'm saying i'm frustrated about the mind set of this congress. i don't think we're focused on the threat that this debt poses america. dr. elmendorf told us we're on an unsustainable path, and he began to discuss the danger of a fiscal crisis like we had in 2007, because we were in such a red zone, a marginal zone debt. madam president, i see the majority leader. i know he's busy, and i would yield the floor. mr. reid: madam president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: we're not in a quorum call, are we? the presiding officer: w

mr. president, we find ourselves today considering legislation to fix a problem that congress and the president created only two short months ago. we knew from the ryan murray spending deal that it cut military pensions and yet this senate passed the bill anyway over my objections and those of many of my republican colleagues. congressional democrats insisted on keeping the military pension cuts in the ryan-murray deal and would not accept change. every single democrat supported majority leader reid and rejected amendments to stop the cuts and voted for the final passage. so they ignored the warnings that i and others issued and virtually every senate democrat voted to keep these cuts, rather than close clear federal tax loopholes that allow illegal aliens to gain money improperly. so what happens? constituents back home are outraged, and now senate democrats are trying to claim credit for fixing the very problem they created, which in itself is not bad, but unfortunately instead of doing this in a good-faith way consistent with our spending priorities and limgz under the murray-ryan bill, the prior bill that's before us now authorizes more spending,

mrs. mcmorris rodgers, have convened the hope group, which is our group looking at the alternative for obamacare. urged them yesterday, continue their work. >> you mentioned that chairman ryan will do a balanced budget. does that mean it will be a complete budget? there definitely -- >> i certainly expect so. >> given the splits in your party over the flood insurance bill -- >> what splits? there are no splits in my party. >> and the opposition of chairman hensarling, could you avoid some of this angst by bringing up in regular order? why don't do you it that way? >> majority leader is working in a bipartisan way with ms. waters and ms. pelosi and others to address the problems in the flood insurance program. while there certainly needs to be some fiscal sanity brought to this program, the way it is deemed implemented is just not sustainable. everybody understands it. the senate bill, in my view, doesn't really solve the problem. and i do think that the effort that's under way is a serious effort. practical effort. to soften the impact of these changes to the program. >> do you consider -- what is leadership? how do you define leadership if all your people do is put out sta
